Very well executed

Truly Dreadful Film

Fantastic!

Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

The 33 year old Griffith was well on his way using close-ups and crosscutting in this film. By this stage he had created the discipline of editing for all subsequent editors (like George Tomasini - North by Northwest) to follow.
